REPORT. 



To His Excellency Grovernor Sprague : 

In conformity with your letter of " Instructions " to Dr. Lloyd 
Morton and myself, bearing the date of December, 1862, (a copy of 
which is hereto annexed,) requesting us to proceed on a tour of in- 
spection to various hospitals, to ascertain the condition of sick and dis- 
abled Rhode Island soldiers, I beg leave to submit the following re- 
port : 

On receiving the appointment, I proceeded immediately to Wash- 
ington, where I arrived on the evening of the 17th of December. 
During my stay there of twenty days, I visited eighteen hospitals, some 
of them twice. Three of these were in Georrretown and one in 
Alexandria. I also made one visit to the camp of Batterv H, one 
to the 11th Rhode Island Regiment at Miner's Hill, and two to the 
" Convalescent " and " Stragglers'" Camps. On the 6th of January, I 
went to Baltimore, whei-e I visited six hospitals in and around the 
city. On the 11th of January, I left for York, Pennsylvania, where, 
there being but one hospital, I was in time to go to Harrisburg the 
same day. Finding Rhode Island soldiers at neither Camp Curtin 
nor three hospitals which 1 visited, I reached Philadelphia on the night 
of January 12th. Here I visited nineteen hospitals, including " West 
Philadelphia," " Germantown," " Chestnut Hill," " Summit House" 
and " Chester." On the 19th of January, I proceeded to Newark, 
New Jersey, where I visited the guard-room and hospital, and reached 
New York the following day. I here visited eight hospitals — five in 
the city and the others at "David's Island," "Fort Schuyler" and 
" Bedloe's Island." Returned to Providence on the 2-4th of January, 
having visited, in five weeks and four days, sixty-one hospitals and five 



6 PUBLIC DOCUMENT. 

camps. 'I'lie iiuinl) -r of Rhode Island men wliieli I found in these 
hospitals, amounts to four hundred and ciyht, inchiding fit'ty-two at 
Convalescent and Stragglers' Camps. Of this number, are titty-eight 
bslonging to the artillery and forty-nine to the cavalry. There were 
also sixty fi'om the 2d Regiment, five from the 3d, seventy from the 
4th, eighty-eight from the 7th, and seventy-eight from the 12th. For 
further informatioii reference is made to the accompanying table in 
^vhich tlicir names may be found alphabetically arranged, stating 
which h<)s[)ital they are in, tlie regiment and company of each, Avitli 
an account of their wound or the disease they are suffering from ; 
also, the names of others who have deserted or been discharged. 
Many of these men were transferred the first week in January, from 
Washington to Portsmouth (xrove Hospital, and it is probable, that 
out of the whole of this number, nearly one hundred will never be fit 
for duty. 

Our sohhers are sufferino; from the ills incident to convalescing 
from typhoid fever. Diarrhui'a and rheumatism are very prevalent- 
There are several cases of heart disease,and three of consumption. ]\Iany 
of tlie cavalry and artillery men are in hospital from injuries caiised 
by horses. I know of but one case of small pox among them, 
although they are much exposed to it. I saw one in a hospital in 
Washington, in the next bed to one of our soldiers whom I was 
s{)e;\king with ; and in Baltimore two cases in a ward with the other 
patients. General debility describes the condition of a great pro- 
])ortion of our soldiers. Some are reduced by disease, and many 
only by exposure and fatigue. They are discouraged and disheartened 
by lingering so long in hospitals or the prospect of it. Hope and en- 
(;ouragement were imparted to them, on liearing that this mission was 
expressly to ascertain wliere each soldier was, what was his condition 
and wants, and tliat an effort was to be made to get them so near 
their homes as the hospital at Portsmouth Grove in this State. Their 
countenances expressed at once the gratification the removal would 
give them. One man in Baltimore said with trembling lips, " I am 
so ijlad to know that some bodv is thinkhio; of us." They are gener- 
ally satisfied with their treatment, seldom making any complaints. 

The hospitals, >vith very few exceptions, arc very clean, well venti- 
lated and comfoi-tably warmed. The best proof of the good attend- 
ance and humane treatment of the patients, is the favorable reports of 
the soldiers themselves, unrestrained by the presence of any of the 
officials. In several cases they expressed sincere gratitude towards 
the surgeon for his untiring care, to which they felt they were indebted

for their lives. "• Wc have good doctors ;" and " I was surprised to 
find we had such good treatment," were the remarks often made to 
me. If convalescents could be allowed nourishing food longer, and 
not be put on " army rations " so soon, I think it would be better for 
the rrovenimjut as well as for the men, — for they would sooner be fit for 
dutv. l>ut as this is not allowed unless it is furnished through some 
outside infiuence, it does not reflect on the hospital authorities. 

Whatever objections may be made to the removal of the soldiers to 
" Portsmouth (Jrove Hospital," I leave to those who better under- 
stand the policy of the plan ; feeling alone would decide in its favor. 
Many a poor fellow is dwelling in the anticipation of being where a 
mother or other dear relative can reach him. Soldiers from other 
States, who were attracted to us, and wlio joined in the conversation 
on the subject, said, they wished their States would make the same 
eftbrt as Rhode Island had made. The maimed soldier being de- 
prived of having the artificial limbs, which are supplied by Gov- 
ernment to those who are discharged from the Hospitals in Washing- 
ton, is an argument against it, but those who are in other places now, 
have not that privilege to forfeit. I had the concurrence of a num- 
ber of surgeons in the opinion that the plan was a good one, and they 
were hopeful that it might be allowed ; while others, less sanguine 
and more sensitive, looked upon the improbability of its being brought 
about, and felt that it implied a doubt of the good attendance there, 
but gave it their sanction, when convinced by the proposition that it 
Avas preferable perhaps, to suffer more and be within the reach of the 
sympathy which we most crave. 

I was informed that the Convalescent Camp was to be broken up, 
and I sincerely hope it maj- be, as tlie condition of the place is de- 
plorable. When I last visited this camp, it was somewhat improved, 
as it had been removed in a direction where the men could get wood 
and water without having to go two or three miles for it, as before. 
It is very hard for men in their condition, to sleep on the ground, 
with a single blanket, and to suffer from neglect and exposure, as 
they appeared to. Those who are ready to go to their regiments, are 
detained oftentimes until they are so reduced they have to be sent 
back to the hospital. Common sense tells us that such treatment is 
not calculated to replenish the ranks of the army. I could not per- 
ceive much distinction between this and the Stragglers' Camp. Of 
course this place serves for a resort for men who had rather be any 
where than facing the enemv ; and therofore, here it is tliat shirks ani,l

cowards " most do congregate," and the morale of tlie' place is very 

dismisting to brave and honest soldiers, who are forced to mingle in- 
to e^ ' c5 

discriminately with them. " Chestnut Hill Hospital" is a model in- 
stitution lor Convalescents. 

The spirit of humanity which dictated this mission has drawn 
forth sympathy and kindness from all who become acquainted with it, 
as well as the surgeons and others in the Hospitals. Several times 
the surgeons proved their interest by acting at once in some cases 
which I brought to their notice. 1 would express my thanks to the 
" Khode Island Relief Association" in Washington, for their cordial 
co-operation. I would say to the friends of the soldiers, that the 
wants of their sick and wounded are thoroughly attended to by 
the members ; they have had a good supply from home, thus far, 
of clothing and delicacies, which are dispensed with truly heart-felt 
sympathy to all the Rhode Island soldiers in hospital in and around 
AV'ashington. Committees are sent to all of them, who, not only at- 
tend to their physical wants, but write letters for them, exert themselves 
to find their " descriptive lists," get their discharge, etc., when neces- 
sary, and supply as far as possible the place of their own personal 
friend's. Mrs. Arnold, the wife of our Senator, the Hon. Samuel G. 
Arnold, is adorning her station there with the same womanly "tnSs^*' 
of devotion and sympathy for our suffering soldiers which actuated 
her herCy and with which she so nobly filled the position of President 
of the " Volunteer Relief Association." Other ladies connected with 
the members of the Association in Washington, assist with heart and 
hand in this work of love and patriotism. 

I am also indebted to the members of the New England Relief 
Association, in IMiiladelphia, who pay the same attention to our sol- 
diers as to those of the other New England States, although they have 
never received any donations from here. In one case where cham" 
pagne was prescribed for one of our men, whose life the surgeon told 
me " hung by a hair," this Association supplied one quart per day as 
long as it was necessary. I trust their kindness will be acknowledged 
by some contributions from this State. 

For further particulars I beg leave to refer your Excellency to the 
more extended report of Dr. Morton, whose instructions contain ad- 
ditional items to those in the instructions to myself, and which re- 
quired him to A'isit all the camps of the Rhode Island regiments and 
batteries attached to the Army of the Potomac.
